I'm broke most of the time, and this foundation only costs about five dollars at my local drugstores, so when I first tried it, I was really just desparate! But I ended up really liking it and have since purchased several more bottles. It can be a little thick at times, so I just mix it with a bit of facial moisturizer. It lasts all day and provides just enough coverage, and doesn't irritate my highly sensitive skin. Plus, it comes in a nice variety of shades! -

When I applied the first stroke of mascara I had instant results- My lashes were so much longer than they were without the mascara! So after I applied a few more strokes, I had beautiful definition and dramatic length. In the commercials and ads for this product, the model's eyelashes are incredibly long and defined, while I didn't get results quite as perfect as those, I got pretty close. Sexy Curves mascara dried very quickly once it was on my eyelashes, which made it a little bit difficult to apply several strokes, therefor making it a teeny bit clumpy. It was nothing too noticeable, however, and I was able to de-clump my eyelashes with a basic eyelash brush. Sexy Curves mascara is also advertised to last up to 12 hours, though I'm not sure it did. It did last for quite some time, but not exactly 12 hours.
I bought this mascara at my local Walgreens for around $7.50.
So even though it does have it's flaws, for only $7.50, Sexy Curves is a really good mascara.

I really don't like saying I hate a product... but I HATE this product.
After seeing various commercials for this dual-ended cream eyeshadow stick, I decided to go to Target and pay the $7.50 for one of them. When I got there, they had every one of the colors on display. And man, I was floored at how pretty they were. I ended up picking out the shade Citrus Flair. Who could resist the total uniqueness of the idea of having a lime-green-and-copper smokey eye? I was so excited for this product. Until I tried it.
First, the commercials claim that the shadows are easy-to-blend, so that anyone can achieve the popular colorful smokey eye. Not really. It was almost impossible for me to blend these shadows without wiping them off, so I ended up looking really strange with two colors on my lid that were totally separate from each other. But I decided to just go with it and went about my day. I noticed that the shadows felt really greasy AND sticky on my eyelids, which is SO not a plus. And after maybe an hour of wear, the shadows were so creased it was amazing. I had a huge, clumpy line of green and brown across my eyelid. I was so disappointed, but I kept my chin up and tried it the next day with some eyelid primer. I had the exact same result as I did the day before. I tried to convince myself that it would be okay, so I wore it a few mores time after that with no such luck.
Interestingly enough, the most recent time I used it, the copper end of the stick BROKE. As in, completely snapped off, even though I didn't have it twisted up very far.
All in all, I was very, very disappointed in this product, considering all of the hype that's been surrounding it. So, if you just happen to have just bought a Smokey Shadow Blast, I would recommend returning it and getting your money back. In my opinion, 7-8 bucks is just too much to spend on something that will be unblendable, crease, and break in the end.

The most comfortable underwear you will EVER own! They are so soft and feel amazing, and they come in a very wide variety of colors and patterns, so there will be something for everyone's taste. They are pretty pricey at $7.50 a pair, but Aerie always has some kind of good deal going on! I buy them in sets of five when they have a 5/$15 sale, and sometimes in singles when they are on clearance or just on a regular discounted sale. After wearing Aerie underwear, I'm never buying the packages of cheap underwear from Wal-Mart or Target again! I'm in love with this underwear, as weird as it sounds. xD -

This is my favorite mascara! I bought at Walgreens for about $6-7, and I have not stopped using it since! It was a bit thick at first, but over a short amount of time, the formula thins out just enough and becomes very easy to use. The brush is big and very full, packed with bristles. In the photo attatched to this review, I am wearing only ONE coat of the mascara, and as you can see, it gives very nice definition and length. I've applied several coats of this mascara and it makes my lashes look very thick and dark. The brush might take a little bit of time to get used to, but it really is an amazing mascara. that lasts all day and only flakes a little bit after several hours. The only downside is that in the beginning, it had a very strong scent of wine! This might be a plus for some people, but I personally don't care for the smell of wine. :P
